I had the thought of, what happens if millions of Americans just stopped paying taxes as a form of protest? I can’t imagine the IRS could actually handle it.

My hope would be that the IRS would be utterly overwhelmed when 50 million people just stopped paying into the system. It’s not hard to change your tax withholding with your employer.
It’s also not hard for the IRS leadership to direct their agents to skip all that time consuming audit and verification stuff and just start slapping seizures on everybody who owes more than $1000 in presumed tax liability.
It might work, the hard part would be getting 50 million people to agree to something so risky at the same time
